Recommended cycling courses to enjoy sightseeing in Tokyo.
1.Course to see buildings with a sense of Japanese history.
This course is recommended for lovers of Japanese culture and history.
From the Imperial Palace to Meiji Shrine, you can cycle around historical buildings from the Edo to Meiji periods. The course is approximately 14 km one way, so even beginners can easily take on the challenge. Why not try touring buildings of high historical value?
2. The course circles Tokyo Bay from Tokyo Tower and crosses the Rainbow Bridge.
What do you think of this course?
The total length of the course is approximately 20 km.
Ideal for those who want to enjoy the scenery, food and shopping while cycling. The view from Rainbow Bridge is particularly spectacular.
You can enjoy it all day long, with the sea breeze blowing in the daytime and the beautiful night view after dark.
On the way back from this course, you can eat monja-yaki at Monja Street or buy souvenirs at Tsukiji Outside Market.
3. Yamanote Line cycle paths for cyclists to try at least once.
If you like riding a bicycle but find it tedious to think up courses and look at maps, we recommend a trip on the Yamanote Line, which circles around the centre of Tokyo.
The 35 km-long loop line has 30 stations, each with its own town.
Riding a bicycle along the line will give you a good idea of the distance to the city centre and the location of the towns. The distance travelled by bicycle is well over 40 km, making it the most challenging of the three courses so far, but as there are few hills, the journey can be completed in three to four hours.
It is a valuable experience that can only be had by bicycle.
